Design and operation of closed-loop triple-deck buck-boost converter with high gain soft switching

Abstract

<span>This paper presents the design and operation of three-stage buck-boost converter with high gain soft switching using closed loop proportional integral (PI) controller. The proposed converter is designed by arranging three identical buck-boost converters working in parallel. The converter units are connected to each other by an inductor as a bridge. This inductor plays a vital role in soft switching operation of converter by maintaining the voltage applied to switches at zero voltage at switching intervals, i.e., the zero-voltage switching (ZVS). The closed-loop system is designed by PI controller, and it maintains the output constant irrespective of changes in input, and the system becomes stable. The proposed converter is efficient in reducing switching losses, leading to improved converter efficiency. Due to parallel operation of three identical converters, the output voltage and input current contain fewer ripples than those of a single converter with same specifications. Proposed converter is more economical and reliable with simpler structure as it utilizes only two inductors as extra elements. The design and analysis of proposed circuit has been carried out in MATLAB Simulink by operating the circuit in various modes.</span>

Application of fuzzy logic technique to track maximum power point in photovoltaic systems

“…An MPPT system is used to ensure that the switching pulses to the switch (here we are using a MOSFET) will be adjusted such that it ensures maximum power is being tracked from the solar system consequently output voltage increases to the value suitable to our requirement. We will first design a solar module and the generated output is fed as the input to the boost converter using a voltage-controlled source at the solar module interface [26]. The parameters used for building a boost converter are stated in Table 2.…”

“…Non-linear control has been widely used in complex systems, and controllable state observers are used to realizing good precision and response at the incomprehensive characteristic identity parameter of the plane. High-performance microprocessors are desired for calculating the multi-variable states or most sequence process results and eliminates their drawbacks [10]- [14]. State-of-the-art converters in non-linear system analysis require complex techniques and expertise to realize simple and efficient designs.…”
